[Game] 27/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 16 DEC 2024 7pm PT/10pm ET

[PorchSurfin]

Nuggets come out in the 3rd and go up by 20+, Kings battle back to within 4, Nuggets win by 12.

I’m pretty sure Keon Ellis should start the 2nd half. Switch things up

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon has 3 blocks and two steals and about 30 deflections at half time

Still like him better in the starting lineup, but I guess there is "no way" they can go back to that, for some reason?

I'm sure Malone will see where the Kings small ball lineup hurt him but why not. At least go to it earlier if things start swinging back.

 

[Tetsujin]

Brown has said almost all the practices since the season started have been no contact. Just walk thrus, shooting, film and individual work outs.

Well he should have them all just sit in chairs instead of risking their ankles!

 

[NewArena]

Really hoping we can have a strong 2nd half

I wanted him in the starting lineup but I’m ok with him off the bench as long as he gets 20 plus minutes a night

better yet, just work on shooting drills and skip the scrimmage

 

[PorchSurfin]

Keon has 3 blocks and two steals and about 30 deflections at half time

Baffling how he has been in and out of the lineup. Jerked around as a non contributor. Especially when Brown gave such soon-to-be-out-of-the-league players like KZ Okpala a longer leash.

So fun we get to root for this guy every game.

Fox man you

Yeah, clear sign of rust. The Kings finally start playing with some sort of consistency and then have that spotty tourney schedule, yay!

Denver last played on the 8th kings on the 12th somehow we’re pulling the rust card smh

 

[Joshyjosh31]

New law firm just dropped?

Ellis haha

 

[PorchSurfin]

Putting DDR at PF ripped them a new one. Even Monk was guarding the post up against Gordon better because he was just staying low and pushing into Gordons legs.

I would have rather started Keon to play PF than having Doug play SF and move DDR to PF.

I just want to see more of the guard lineups. The team is what it is aso they have go with it, and with Carter on the verge of hopefully coming back that should become a major strength for this team. DeRozan at the 4 was something the Bulls did and we can already see why offensively.

There were moments in that 2nd quarter where I would say guys were trying to do a little too much but when the result is 47 points in a single quarter without anyone getting crazy got from behind the arc, it appears that trying to do too much is the right speed for this team. Denver has size in their favor but they had no answer for the Kings' speed. Domas being able to rebound and run is game breaking at times.

For some reason, his mistakes are high-lighted in Brown's mind, more so than the plays that nobody else on the team makes

 

[Tetsujin]

Nuggets find Luke Walton’s secret stash at halftime?

 

[gunks]

I'm so glad I didn't turn this off in disgust a few minutes into the 2nd quarter Hahaha

We got ourselves a ballgame!!!

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean Keon played 17 minutes in the first half, pretty sure that's Brown relying on him, no?

I saved you from kicking yourself later

Only if he does it on a consistent basis

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik!

Or...

 

[The_Jamal]

It's interesting watching Jokic's scoring be muted since he can just bulldoze through Domas like he does the rest of the league. Obviously still the most dangerous passer in the league, but Domas has him totally out of his game.

 

[Kingz19]

Keep feeding Monk

 

[NewArena]

KING IN ARABIC!!

 

[Sluggah]

The LEAD

 

[hrdboild]

All your points are belong to us!

 

[Tetsujin]

WHAT DOES HIS NAME MEAN IN ARABIC????

 

[The_Jamal]

Uh-oh, Malik got that flow going
